Research and Instruction enhances student learning through various methods, including in-person classroom instruction, online sessions (both live and recorded), video tutorials, and other educational resources. Faculty librarian(s) collaborate closely with teaching faculty to design instructional sessions tailored to the desired learning outcomes. Our mission is to equip students, staff, and faculty with the research skills needed to access, evaluate, and use information effectively, efficiently, and ethically.

To discuss your needs or arrange a presentation for your class, please e-mail Dr. Angel Pridgen (apridgen@abcnash.edu) at least two weeks prior to your requested instruction date. We will contact you to finalize the details of your request. 

Training and Research Partnership

We are available to provide department-wide or individualized training for faculty, staff, and graduate assistants on specific resources or information literacy approaches. Topics include:

• Developing effective library assignments
• Incorporating information literacy skills into the curriculum
• Supporting research-intensive courses
• Assisting with personal research needs

The library regularly assesses its information literacy program to ensure that it is meeting the needs of users and achieving its goals. Assessment methods include:

• Evaluation of instructional materials and resources to ensure that they are up-to-date and effective.
• Assessment of student learning outcomes to evaluate the effectiveness of instructional programs.
• User surveys and feedback to evaluate user satisfaction with library services and resources.
